Channel Islands Discovery Photography Workshop

The Channel Islands National Park Photography Workshop held on Anacapa Island or Santa Cruz Island offers some of the most amazing geologic and natural features found only here. This location offers the most varied image capture options for the photo enthusiast.

From numerous whale and dolphin sightings in the Santa Barbara Channel to breathtaking cliffs and a classic light house, these compact environmentally sensitive islands offer so much for the creative eye.

Price includes instruction materials and field guidance. Does not include lodging, food or transportation.

You’ll have more the enough time to enjoy the islands during this one or two day photography workshop, along with 2 professional photographers to provide you with one on one support. Our group will travel a short 45 minute boat ride to your destination which is another world from the mainland. The boat leaves from Oxnard or Ventura, California dock depending on their schedule, leaving 9am and returning by 5pm. (Schedules may vary for the two-day option.)
